I may be a lost cause

So I've given fmq a try and I can't seem to get it right at all. I even tried using a stencil and following the lines with my fmq foot and it went horribly. Just can't seem to get the hang of it. Only tried it for a short time , but I think I may stick to straight line quilting. Is it something that gets easier? Or is it one of those skills that you either have it or you don't?

I just started doing FMQ about two months ago myself, don't give up!!! I decided to make a quilt for my elderly mother -she doesn't see super well. So I decided to just keep on FMQ over the entire quilt. (Over a print, the mistakes didn't show at all) she loved it. THEN I went back to my little practice sandwiches, WOW I couldn't believe how much I had improved. It's worth sticking with it, I did a cool stencil with lots of feathery type stuff and a grid, I couldn't believe how much I improved. I will post a pic.
